Please join us for Stations of the Cross - “Voices Stations”, Good Friday night (March
30th) at 7:00pm in the Church.
Our humanity bleeds through today's Gospel passages in more ways than one. We see both elation and fall, hope in the midst of the darker sides of our natures. If we allow it, these Gospels hold a mirror to our own fickle hearts. The crowds cry "Hosanna" and the Apostles
profess allegiance unto death. In a manner of days - even hours - Jesus is betrayed, abandoned, denied,
condemned, tortured, and executed. As God, he could have stopped this horrific narrative from unfolding, but
he doesn't. He allows free will to play itself out.
There are nearly two millennia between this spectacle and us. We can stand safely removed, if we choose. But Lent invites us to return to this story. Lent invites us to find ourselves in the people we encounter there. Are we the repentant woman at Bethany? Are we naysayers of such lavish piety? Have we acted in a way that betrays those we love or denies what we know to be good and true? Have we fallen asleep in our faith? Have we unfairly accused others of a crime or immorality we
imagine, though perhaps they didn't commit? Do we help others carry their burdens? Do we stand in solidarity with
those who suffer? Do we care for the dying?
This week, take up today's Gospel again. Look carefully at the Passion narrative and sit with it in silence. Find yourself in the story and ponder its meaning for your own life. Journey with Jesus to the foot of the Cross so that you too may say, along with the faithful centurion, "truly this man was the Son of God!" (Taken from LPi, Inc.)
�Chrism Mass: Tuesday, March 27th at 4:00pm Our Lady of Hope/St. Agnes in Blackwood

lic Strong, the Campaign for

mission of this campaign is to ensure that our
parishes are financially stable and allow the diocese
the opportunity to address long-term and extraordi-
nary needs so that our Church will have the strength
and stability to serve future generations of Catholics.

our parish goal will be used at St. Mary for: Replacement/of Church & Hall HVAC systems -Hire Youth/Yg. Adult/Family minister funding for 2 yr salary -Renovation of Parish Hall Kitchen/replace side doors of Hall -Reupholster pews/replace carpeting under pews with tile.

Collect prayer for Easter
O God, who on this day, through your Only Begotten Son, have conquered death and
unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord’s Resurrection may, through the renewal
brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives nd reigns with you in the unity of the one
God, for ever and ever.
